Loved this episode (well, we would wouldn't we..?)

Guessing the film version doesn't include the 2nd crazed TV studio scene. Tittupy Bumpity is a fave of the band.

I met someone last week who was a Planet People extra! He said Sir John was sozzled most of the time. 😄

A good year for interesting old horror movies on the big screen. Apart from @fwfilmfestival.bsky.social there's also the restored Hammer Dracula on re-release; The Devils* later in the month; and @generalwitch.bsky.social are showing Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde at a cinema in Acton on the 30th.

Fewer than 10 tickets left for the @generalwitch.bsky.social screening, I gather, and they're keen to sell out. Here's my little review of the very interesting film, if that might help convince you:

Enjoying this. “I’ll watch anything with a sense of dread,” says @jonpountney1.bsky.social. Same. Same.

VERY SHORT STORY, August 2025: “Close by, the balloon has the bulk of an office block. Its perfect white shell throws out a soft internal light, as if the sun itself has fallen, weakened, from the sky.”

Final push! If you have any local horror fans near Ealing who would love this, please send them the link. If you run a London listings guide, we’d love to be featured. And if your followers need a spooky night out, a repost would mean the world. Help us sell this out!

The end is here. We reach the grim, apocalyptic conclusion to the big screen incarnation of Nigel Kneale’s Quatermass in The Quatermass Conclusion

We break down the theatrical cut, human harvesting, and the ultimate fate of Professor Bernard Quatermass

Listen, subscribe, share: tinyurl.com/qMass4

A promotional graphic for a podcast episode titled The Quatermass Conclusion. The image has a light purple frame at the top and bottom with bold black text reading ‘NEW PODCAST EPISODE’ in a top banner and ‘THE QUATERMASS CONCLUSION’ in a bottom banner. The central image features a close-up of Sir John Mills as Professor Bernard Quatermass, looking weary with gray hair, a mustache, and a small cut on his cheek. To the left, white text quotes: “‘Hey you, get ready get on your feet’”. Cut out in the lower-left corner is a black-and-white photo of the three podcast co-hosts smiling.
